  2. Surface plate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surface_plate

    The cast iron was aged to reduce stress in the metal in an effort to decrease the likelihood of the plate twisting or warping over time. Cast-iron surface plates are now frequently used on production floors as a tool for lapping granite surface plates to achieve certain grades of accuracy. The metal allows itself to be impregnated with the ...

  3. Slotted angle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slotted_angle

    Slotted angle (also sometimes referred to as slotted angle iron) is a system of reusable metal strips used to construct shelving, frames, work benches, equipment stands and other structures. The name derives, first, from the use of elongated slots punched into the metal at uniform intervals to enable assembly of structures fixed with nuts and ...

  4. Structural steel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Structural_steel

    Structural steel shapes, sizes, chemical composition, mechanical properties such as strengths, storage practices, etc., are regulated by standards in most industrialized countries. Most structural steel shapes, such as Ɪ-beams , have high second moments of area , which means they are very stiff in respect to their cross-sectional area and ...

  5. Bending (metalworking) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bending_(metalworking)

    Air bending's angle accuracy is approximately ±0.5 deg. Angle accuracy is ensured by applying a value to the width of the V opening, ranging from 6 T (six times material thickness) for sheets to 3 mm thick to 12 T for sheets more than 10 mm thick. Springback depends on material properties, influencing the resulting bend angle. [2]

  6. Sheet metal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sheet_metal

    The inner radius of the bend formed in the metal is determined not by the radius of the upper tool, but by the lower die width. Typically, the inner radius is equal to 1/6 of the V-width used in the forming process. The press usually has some sort of back gauge to position depth of the bend along the workpiece. The backgauge can be computer ...

  7. Engineering drawing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engineering_drawing

    Sizes of circular features are indicated using either diametral or radial dimensions. Radial dimensions use an "R" followed by the value for the radius; Diametral dimensions use a circle with forward-leaning diagonal line through it, called the diameter symbol, followed by the value for the diameter.

  8. Bar stock - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bar_stock

    Drill rod diameters range from 0.0135 to 1.5 in (0.34 to 38.10 mm); in the United States diameters smaller than 27 ⁄ 64 th of an inch (11 mm) are made in letter drill sizes and number drill sizes, in addition to fractional sizes. Lengths are usually one or three feet (0.3048 or 0.9144 m).
